Final table, how long will it last?

[B Dids]

I was planning on watching the 'Stars broadcast, but what with work and all won't be home until like 5:30- typically how late in the day does it last?

Don't really mind watching from work, but I think it would be a bad example to do so while I interview new hires...

Nudge.

Last year it went into the wee hours of morning before Moneymaker won.

That's what I remembered, and that's pretty standard? Seems like starting at noon you could go from 9 to 1 pretty damn quick. I know that when I've played with my friends it happens. Maybe that's just because we're all lousy tournament players or something.

More likely b/c you have the blinds escalating too quickly for the amount of chips in play and the time of the rounds. Either that or you all suck, who knows.

Typically it's been T1000 for everybody, blinds 10/20 for the first 1.5 hours, 20/40 for the second 1.5 and doubling after that.

Out of the typical 25, there's probably 6 that don't suck.

How long does this typically last? And, how long do you wish it to last.

It should be over when you get to somewhere around the time when your Big Blind is around the 2000 - 3000 neighborhood.

I was joking about the y'all suck, I have no idea if y'all suck or not.

I'm not kidding, there is that much suck- total newbie fest.

Usually lasts about 4-6 hours.

I've noticed there's a ton of 2+2ers around here... Maybe I'll post a message the next time my friend runs it.
